[Summary]
First Corporation (1430) maintains an increasing trend of sales and profits. Construction of condominiums, the mainstay business, was strong and improved profitability also contributed. On the other hand, uncertainty remains regarding construction costs and the order environment. In the short term, it is easy to evaluate stable business performance, but in the medium term, the quality of order backlog and cost trends are the turning points for stock prices. The current rating is neutral. Business performance is stable, but additional materials are needed to accelerate growth.
